Pitchapalooza

Pitchapalooza Comes to Berkeley!! 

The Book Doctors, aka Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, authors of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published: How to Write It, Sell It, and Market It . . . Successfully, will be making a house call in Berkeley. They want YOU to pitch your book.

Pitchapalooza is like American Idol for books -- only without the Simon. Writers get one minute to pitch their book ideas to an all-star panel of publishing experts. The winner receives an introduction to an appropriate agent or publisher for his/her book.

Plus, anyone who buys a book gets a free consultation worth $100.

In the last month, three writers have gotten publishing deals as a result of participating in Pitchapalooza.
